12:01 am
our live from on the coming up. a chinese surveillance balloon discovered in u. s. air space. washington dispute. spacings claim that it's monitoring the weather. in light of china's unacceptable action. i'm postponing my plan to travel this weekend to china, a symbolic summits in teeth. china. we are just going back to our boning press conference there. you can see and parked in there on the left hand side at the state department alone. say your secretary of state and city lincoln, and they have been summing up everything they've been discussing their meeting. but obviously they're taking questions now. and some of those, of course, may be in reference to this surveillance device is hovering above the united states . let's have a listening tensions with taiwan and continuing us concerns over china's support for vladimir prudence invasion of ukraine. thanks, adrian. ah, we start with this. it's very important emphasize that the presence of this
12:02 am
surveillance balloon over the united states, ah, in our skies, is a clear violation of our sovereignty, a clear violation of international law, and clearly unacceptable. and we've made that clear to, to china. ah, any country that has its aerospace violated in this way, i think would respond similarly. and i can only imagine what the reaction would be in china if they were on the other end. and what this is done is created the conditions that undermine the purpose of the trip, including ongoing efforts to build a floor under the relationship and to address a broad range of issues that are of concern to the american people. i believe to the chinese people and certainly as well to people around the world. ah. so we took
12:03 am
the step that i announced earlier today in postponing the planned visit for this weekend. meanwhile, we're going to remain engaged with the p r c. as this ongoing issue is resolved. the 1st step is getting the surveillance asset out of earth face. and that's what we're focused on. and i thought it was very important for juan e e. e, the senior foreign policy official in beijing to hear this directly from me. and it would be 3 mature for me to weigh in on any other specifics as this surveillance balloon remains an aerospace, as i said, job one is getting it out of our airspace. ah, we continue to believe that having open lines of communication is important. indeed, this incident only underscores the importance and that's why we will maintain them . and that's also why when conditions from it,
12:04 am
i plan to go to to china. but the most important thing right now in the moment is to see that this surveillance asset gets out of our airspace. and we'll take it from there. some sun mo, nama, that's b. s, andrea, andrea, when i don't want to get ahead of anything other than to say that the 1st step is to get the surveillance a craft out of our space, sun mo, nama s b. us. thank you. i have 2 questions. firstly, room 2, mister secretary, lincoln, on north korea's nuclear threats are increasing every day, even hopefully, especially to south korea. now, many koreans don't feel safe, even with the u. s. commitment to the nuclear umbrella. the u. s. s. there is no better guarantee than the u. s versus korea. right? but credibility has declined due to those discussions on withdraw during the trump administration. and as you know,
12:05 am
is not the 1st time. this is why there are growing course, boris of korea to have a nuclear weapons. my question is why you steve candy peter is currently being discussed by the u. s. and south korea, more reliable than existing nuclear umbrella, virginia. with give me some examples that can we are sure korea and my next question is to mr. park. oh, you don't. one that you got cut off on that idea is that all people got you going to young u. s. government u. s. government is not making other people can make a choice. but while you assist china establishes on the supply chains. korean companies are forced to make a change. so us supply chains with regarding dad, what is he was asking us. and we hope for our companies and our economy was what's rock government position to handle this while we can't really make one
12:06 am
choice or the other? let's get reaction now from washington d. c. we can head straight to roles. jordan emeralds, we've been listening into that press conference. the message seems very much to be the same. we heard lincoln say there that they said balloon is still being seen very much as an issue of national security. that's why to the usaa hasn't been briefing now for nearly 24 hours. about the presence of what it says is a chinese government surveillance balloon. and they say that todd, they even though they have noted that the chinese government issued a statement of regret, they say that todd, the travel path of this aircraft, or a balloon, is not one that can be attributed simply to being blown off course by all the westerly winds, as of the chinese noted in their statement of what antony blank in the u. s.
12:07 am
secretary of state, wanted to underscore, was that it's too soon to say when his trip to be jane will be rescheduled because he said repeatedly, the 1st job is to get this saw aircraft out of u. s. airspace and a wanted to really underscore that point during his remarks. now it is well worth noting that i was so far, according to the pentagon officials, this was not a situation where they thought that are perhaps trying to take god control of the craft or ra, as some members of congress have suggested, shooting it out of the sky was warranted, mainly because of concerns about the safety for people who might be in the landfall as it were of the pieces of that craft. but it's also worth noting that child certainly anytime there is a surveillance on apparatus, the u. s. government, as do most government would want to try to inspect that to that machine or that
12:08 am
type aircraft rather than have it destroyed and rendered useless, not just to the person or a country that put it up there. but to the u. s. government that wants to know how other countries are trying to gather u. s. secrets. so this is a matter that has become an international diplomatic go into it. it also is raising a questions among though politicians not just on capital hill, but in those states across the country that have ha, seen this craft a fly over their territory. and there are questions mill, on the bite administration, about how much information it's going to be sharing and how much it's going to keep the u. s. public aware of how it's dealing with what it says is a clear violation of us. so territorial control was jordan has joining us with their latest and reaction to that story from washington. dc was thank you very much . while the balloon was 1st seen over the aleutian islands, that's in alaska,
12:09 am
u. s. and canadian officials say that they saw it when it flew through canada and then back into the u. s. air space where it was seen again this time over billings in montana as surveillance, but it's usually operate in an altitude of anywhere from 24000 meters to 37000 meters that higher than commercial planes. and fighter jets will join that via skype from barcelona by author holland mikella senior fellow at the canadian cancel for ethics and international affairs em ortho. very warm welcome to the program. thanks for being with us. and we've heard very much that the message is the same from the u. s. government. they say we can firmly tail that this is a surveillance balloon, but i kind of want to take it back to basics for our viewers. how can they tell what this balloon is and what is being used for my guess is that the united states is using some very sophisticated surveillance technologies to in turn,
12:10 am
look back at this balloon and they flown near it with a sophisticated fighter jets. i'm sure they're using all manner of technology to get a close look at it. and that can probably give them a good sense of what kind of equipment is, is being carried aboard the above the craft. arthur, why would china use this sort of device for surveillance? when frankly, it has options to use so many more sophisticated types of technology. you know, one theory that i am partial to is that perhaps they wanted the balloon to be spotted, you know, assuming that it, it wasn't an accident that it ended up in the u. s. they obviously knew that there was a high probability. it would be seen, i mean, after all, that's a, a giant balloon, and balloons, like all aerial surveillance, contrivances are very scary. they're frightening. they create public attention, and that's certainly what has happened here. so in that regard, it, it feels in
12:11 am
a way, like a pretty intentional provocation, a way of kind of pushing the envelope, perhaps in the relationship without necessarily spiking a huge catastrophic international incident. which would be the case if they flew, you know, a crude, a spy plane in to u. s. s. base. for example. either we heard m r corresponded there was jordan, saying that the american public feels worried about what kind of information that this craft could be gathering. in reality to we know what kind of information it can gather. we have no idea. we can only speculate up one idea is that it might just have cameras which capture very high resolution imagery that wouldn't be much more than what a satellite can already do. other things that it might collect would be more of interest to the sort of military space. things like electronic intelligence signals from usaa vehicles or installations that then the chinese or the military could use
12:12 am
to decipher. and potentially, i'm turned back against the us in a, in a later confrontation, one of the early questions i think arthur, that was it being asked by, by lots of people was, you know, if china knew that this was veering off course. and in fact, they were telling the truth and this was just a, you know, whether alteration, why not alert the countries. and would that be the sort of process that would happen with these billions? i don't know either lots of them floating about in the atmosphere, which is not aware of that to me is an excellent question. i asked exactly the same question when i was thinking through this over the course of to day. you know, if, if this was purely a scientific experiment, there are channels, especially given the sensitivity of things that fly in the sky. you know, to alert the united states or thirty's. that, that, to me as a huge question mark. and i think it could be a, a key part of, of the puzzle here. and also just one last question is that there's a real history isn't there in using these kind of craft for surveillance segment.
12:13 am
tell, tell us whether. so, not only are balloons, the 1st form of you know, inhabited flight vessels that have ever existed, but very soon after balloons were 1st used to fly human beings. military started thinking about how they could use them to, to spy on people. essentially was only about a decade after the 1st balloon flights that french forces actually started experimenting with balloons for aerial espionage in a sense. and that has continued to be the case, you know, over the centuries since then. the technology certainly now though, is having very much of a, a revival after a dorman period, largely thanks to some technological advances that allow it to be used in a more versatile way than the balloons that, you know, napoleon forces might have used that many centuries ago. arthur, thank you so much for joining us. m a. thank you very much for your insight. we appreciate it. thanks. coming up on the snooze hour from london,

12:17 am
i'll jazeera keith. united states is to stand more than $2000000000.00 worth of military assistance to ukraine. it will include longer range position rockets for the 1st time. last month, the white house announced the military aid package worth over just $3000000000.00 to help crane and its neighbors. some a binge of aids will have some reaction from moscow nap. when in the last few minutes we've heard from the kremlin saying that the world must not forget the comments made by president putin installed in the remembrance of starting rod just 24 hours ago where the russians have said that they do not welcome the these thanks to ukraine, president boot and alluded to what happened 80 years ago and saying that net once again, it is german tanks headed to words the russian border with crosses on them. and russia is going to make use of its full capabilities and it going to respond to it
12:18 am
. he did fall short of saying they're going to be done headed to word it's voted with european countries. but it did say that this is going to be something that history also has a lesson for all of the people who are helping ukraine, obviously pointing towards the 2nd world war. and this is something that we've heard from the russian government since the beginning of the war of painting it with the picture of how nazi germany, what's the war against russia? russia has insisted that it is war. went to war with your brain because of the presence of what it calls not see. and that is why it continues to be there to make sure that it's boarded are protected from what it's called. it's good. this is something that russia is going to be continuing on as we did in the stages of the 1st anniversary of the war. the head of norman catholic church has appealed

12:21 am
herders and the local militia. south to don is the predominantly christian nation. in the past, the church is played a huge role in resolving differences between different ethnic groups and political parties. some people here hope this high profile visit encourage is they politicians to work towards peace. now boy, the church has been urging south sudanese politicians not to return to war. in 2019 pope francis knelt to kiss the feet of foul to don's previously warring leaders during a meeting at the vatican, some west buck get yet to see what he thought. so much in the process that the letter dated business also with them. and then on that note, the chair to demand is to, to focus on are seeing that to people leave that to be sought to don, broke away from saddam to become independent in 2011 after decades a conflict, but long lost in peace remains elusive. people frustrated by how long it's taking to implement the peace agreement, have huge expectations. with so many crises happening elsewhere,
12:22 am
they helped as high profile visit, reminds the world of the needs of seltzer done. how to matessa algebra jibber. european union has agreed on price caps for russian oil products, the cap on products that trade above the price of crude oil, such as diesel. that's been said a $100.00 per barrel products cheaper than good will be kept to $45.00. the price limits which come into effect from sunday, seek to and russia's ability to fund its war in ukraine. jonathan lamb is an oil and gas unless it would, and company joins me from london. jonathan, a warm welcome to the program and tell us, what is the soil price cap meaning, or what is it designed to achieve? so from sunday, european union countries won't be able to buy russian oil products anyway with one or 2 exceptions. so the price camp is designed to make it more difficult for russia to sell these products alternative bias, and in a sense, to give those buyers a bigger bargaining chip when that went bogging over price. because if we look at
12:23 am
the, the price for diesel, for example, $100.00 a barrel at the moment, the price of these this close to a $120.00 a barrel. so it takes, if it's effective, it will take $20.00 a barrel away from russian revenues. and how much of a den could it making less a war making capacity and how quickly would it affect their, their economy potentially? well, i think this is it, it's marginal, obviously anything that you can do to damage russia's ability to sell things abroad has an impact on. but the european union's been working in a slow, methodical monitor cut away various different revenue streams that the russians have. and this is just simply the latest one. and when we think that the russians would typically be exporting millions of barrels of product per day. and if you
12:24 am
take $2025.00 per barrel, is of that by a price cap, it could be quite significant. and jonathan, what, what can russia do in face of these price caps? well, the way the mechanism in which the price count works is it works through stopping anyone connected to the european union, offering services like insurance on ship charts right now. so what, what the russians have done in the past, for example, with that sanctions on crude is to try and buy out their own vessels will to find that those companies or service providers that are completely independent from the like maybe chinese or indian ones that are willing to do it, but it does actually still raise the price of all of the services. so it does have an impact. however much russia tries to evade the sanctions. jonathan, why is it that it's taken you so long to agree the price captain?
12:25 am
you mentioned the word slow and methodical steps just a 2nd ago, but why has it taken this length of time? well, i, i think that the reason is that these things are actually very difficult. so europe was buying as much as 10 percent of his diesel from russia and also lots of other semi finished products from russia to turn into diesel. and so if you just cut off the top, you know, in one go, it could create a huge amount of chaos in the market. and i think there were lots of people that were worried about that kind of thing happening. and then of course, when you have a close 27 different countries with different interests, it does take time to come to an agreement on any of these things. so with the land, they are joining us live from london from wood and company, jonathan, thank you. to pleasure palestinian man schultz and the oak. if i'd west bank on friday has died of his woods abdulla while we was shot at who are a checkpoint,

12:27 am
cars that were on fire and i would never have expected that they would attack an ambulance. there were an average of 17 settler attacks a week on palestinians in 2020 to a 170 percent increase in 5 years. according to the un was that with israel's new governing coalition, including foreign ministers, elected by settlers. many palestinians fear the violence will get worse. the u. s. government says it opposes settlement expansion and the legalization of outposts. but these railey government is promising to do just that. those new grey and white apartments over there are a legal settlements right here in the heart of the west bank. and last year just 3 percent of police cases involving settle of violence resulted in a conviction. farrah salamis from an israeli group that monitor settler attacks. he says they now have no fear and come right into the villages. aren't bucket, enjoy it. easy bill, ourselves enormous shouting half their emboldened because his railey law enforcement gives them impunity and the power to carry on escalate. when there is
12:28 am
no accountability, the attacks increase and so does the violence today because they are in a position of power when the government, they feel more immune settlement started appearing, not long after israel occupied the west bank in the 1967 arab israeli war there are now around 290 of them all illegal under international law. the settlements in blue on this map, gradually expanding and will eventually joined together a tactic, palestinian official hassan douglas says was used when israel was found it home with him. pub, grandma, who don't? buffy out at hayley philosophy. they want to implement a plan to transfer palestinians from areas close to settlements. a st. similar to that and 1948 when zionist gangs committed massacres and, and still fear to drive palestinians out of their homes. today we have another attempt. how are you gangs? new names? price tag hill, top youth, you name it is called the magazine. no settlers have been charged in connection with the attack on the ambulance on saturday. israel police say they'll investigate

a r. he's an assistant professor of latin american latino in caribbean studies at time of college to join the live from boston. mr clare are very welcome to the program. we have a little bit of detail there from my colleagues report, but tell us what this make. prison is designed to do so for the kelly administration, this superman prison buyer, the us super max prison is supposed to warehouse about $40000.00 inmates. and really, it's addressing this kind of uptake of our arbitrary detentions, and people that have been captured randomly all across the salvador and finding a place to, to put them basically. so this is prison, really, it's part of a seemingly long term plan by the bouquet, with administration to clear the gang problems from society altogether, but by warehousing them and using this kind of iron based approach to do so. one where folks are being indiscriminately picked up and taken to jail. it doesn't seem
12:40 am
to be resolving the problem. in fact, that seems to just be displacing it into a places now further and further away from people accessing it. really in visiting people who are in jail or are having any kind of sense of what the government is doing, which is been really kind of obscure and obvious. gated the core, hey we heard and a woman in my colleagues piece, they're saying that you know, it is helping or it might be helping to make some people feel safe or but as you point, even if it does reinstate the rule of law to some degree in the short term, there's still a massive problem with the gang dominance across the country. and also as you say, these arbitrary and detention yes. so in that, in that comment, i find it really curious in the sense that i think some people who are speaking out
12:41 am
this way are those who have yet to be touched by the surveillance apparatus in the military reservation of a sub that blue kelly has as as inaugurated, speaking from that sense of security and that they haven't been directly impacted. but for many people across the country, they've been stigmatized because of the communities that they come from. they've been, family members have been picked up and traumatized by the experience are being jailed . it's. it's like as the human rights groups have been saying, a gross violation. many. we've been present that there been people who have actually nothing to do with games that have been picked up. but this is largely because there's a one size fits all approach from the kelly administration in terms of, if you live in a community, then you must be gangs. but as we know, gangs have been a problem. so i would do it for 30 years and dust be a part of the social fabric. and so it's to even think that one could discern
12:42 am
ticket like the gang with this kind of crude approach, which is absurd, is absurd, and you can incarcerate your way out of this problem. all right, so i just wanted to pick up on know something you said there that i thought was fascinating. obviously this is a very crude approach. and i'm just wondering over this past 30 years as anything work to even make it then in this problem. because as you say, gangs are part of the social fabric, and i'm wondering, have there ever been an attempt by any government to try to come at this problem and more innovative in a more human way looking at this perhaps is more of a social problem than one of criminality prior miss reasons have largely approached the gang issued through his hardest this iron fist approach which will get it simply kind of recasting. but the s, melina administration in 2012 tried to negotiate with either be a truce,
12:43 am
as it was called, that model the different way to interact with gang members. as a political negotiation for mobilizing the central right. but that was political dynamite. it was not possible to do that kind of political work out in the open because of what gangs represent in salvador in society. maybe they are, they are the boogeyman and the are the bad guys. they are they are. they are ghouls . that need to be dealt with and punished. and so even that sort of experiment in negotiating with gangs was, was completely invalidated and hasn't been approached in quite the same way since. and so what we see there is to this term to, to kind of the super max approach to that it really also for closes any kind of rehabilitation, any kind of re, insertion projects, any, any access. and this is what i minutes with my 1st comment. if any access from
12:44 am
civil society groups or in g o z are human rights advocates to do, do work within the prison to eventually kind of re insert folks and, and reintroduce them back in society is no longer possible. i'm just going to have to stop that just because we weren't out of time and she is fascinating to talk to you. thank you so much for joining us with your insight. thank you. thank you so much. answering government for to protests imperial are affecting the country's tourism industry. the ancient inca cities of glasgow and masha pit you have been closed since demonstrations spread across the area. they are of course peruse, most important tourist attractions. unimportant source of income. c. newman reports at 3500 meters above sea level in the heart of the andes mountains lies goose school. once the imperial capital of the inca empire, and later the historic capital of colonial peru. it's the gateway to another world

together using all our resources to eradicate terrorism from this country. as we did in the past, we must be unified as proven from history even when we get destroyed, we can rebuild. it was just, i have no doubt that despite our great loss, we will overcome this threat and won't rest until terrorism is under control forever without protecting 30 percent of the world's oceans. by 2030 is seen as critical in the fight against climate change and to help protect crucial marine biodiversity, scientists and marine experts are coming together at congress in vancouver to charge of course, to seek to secure our seas. our environment is nick clark has more looking in from space. you can see why we call us the blue planet. yes. oceans cover. 70 percent of the world we live on and they are a critical resource. indeed, life below goes far beyond the beauty of this extraordinary by diversity. the oceans play a huge role in regulating our planetary systems storing carbon,
12:49 am
for example. they also help shape climate patterns. and of course, there are a lot of for the well providing protein for 3000000000 people and an income to at least 10 percent of the world's population. so the oceans are provide a main source of food for the last large proportion of our planets. so if we think about fisheries, just in the tropics alone, we think that tropical fisheries employ about 200000000 people. so that's directly and indirectly livelihood. that depends on fishing activity at food food and fish. in particular, is the main source of protein for any of the vulnerable coastal communities around the world. and in addition to providing the source of food, the ocean is also a key regulator of the global climate system. bucks the oceans are in trouble. reef said dying ecosystems are collapsing fisheries. a disappearing drastic measures are required. currently, less than 9 percent of our oceans have some form of protection and that's often not
12:50 am
even enforced. 30 by 30, the plan to protect 30 percent of our world's oceans by 2030 ames to more than triple that with better oversight too, it would be a kind of global network of protected zones that could have a dramatic effect on restoring ecosystems. biodiversity and fish populations, but we have, there is an international efforts to, on the one hand, me allies, the value of our oceans, both in terms of, by the vested regulation of the climate and the value for people. and a have this concerted efforts to protect the ocean from our human activities. there is a substantial challenge because there is, as you know, a lot of human activity in the ocean. so that means placing that activity and perhaps limiting it, and therefore the livelihood that depend on those activities. so it is quite a complex challenge to, to achieve. it is counter intuitive, but the evidence is if you protect more, you can catch more. the bottom line is what's good for the ocean is also good for
